Challenge: Best of 2009 (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Sony DSLR-A100
Lens: Sony SAL16-80Z DT 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 ZA
Location: Glendalough
Date: Feb 4, 2009
Date Uploaded: Jan 21, 2010

This is taken at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow in ireland.

I liked this as the reflections draw your eyes into the mountains, which are covered in cloud giving an air of mystery. I found this the best crop, as anything else reduced the effect of the leading lines.

Thanks for looking, and thanks for the comments.

It's really interesting how the reflections create leading lines that draw the eye in.

Very Tranquil. This shot draws you in and Love the detail on the foreground and the channel funneling me along into these mountaisn to nowhere...because nowhere is where you go where nobody can find you and nothing can disturb you. Ahhh. Love it 9 Others might complain about the emptiness and lack of something here in the fore.

Nice perspective, but really an uninteresting foreground, and I wish the colors/tones were punched up a bit.

Feels like it's leaning slightly to the left. Nicely composed otherwise.

Stunning in a quiet, peaceful way. Love the detail in the foreground, which is nicely counterbalanced by the clouds obscuring the mountain tops.

Nice perspective, good tones. Looks slightly tilted to the left.

I like this, but it feels like there's way too much of the foreground water in here. That would have been ok if there had been some cool rocks to add more visual interest, but there are just kinda boring pebbles there. It also feels like it should be rotated slightly clockwise, but just a couple degrees. I probably would have cropped this as a horizontal shot, ending the water where the reflection stops.

That is one very calm piece of water!

It's a shame you didn't get this on a better day, the grandness of the scene is somewhat spoiled by the fact that you can't see the mountain tops and the greyness of it all.
